Passive Components
Passive network components are network components that usually do not require any electrical power input. Key passive components include couplers/splitters, wavelength-selective splitters (WDM, CWDM, and DWDM), circulators/isolators, and optical switches. They are available for both single-mode (SM) and multi-mode (MM) applications. These parts are crucial for building a powerful and error-free network. Using unsuitable passive components at key locations in a network could have a quick and noticeable detrimental effect on system performance.
General Photonics’ fiber optic circulators are compact, high-performance light-wave components that separate signals traveling in opposite directions along fibers by transmitting signals from port 1 to port 2 and port 2 to port 3, while blocking signals traveling in the opposite directions.
Lead and lag fibers are used to adapt the meter to the target. The use of a launch fiber protects the adapters on the meter and evaluates the start or end events.
Launch Fiber for OTDR applications in various lenght and connector assamblies are available.
